A New Phase of Evolution
**Location: Whitehaven, Logan's House**
A few months had passed since Logan's pack had settled into a period of calm, with nothing particularly noteworthy occurring within their ranks.
However, the outside world was far from peaceful. The human world had almost plunged into another devastating war, only to be averted at the last moment by Charles Xavier and his group of mutants.
A new player had emerged on the scene: a mutant named Donald Pierce, who dubbed himself the White King and formed a faction known as the Hellfire Club. With this group, he began recruiting other mutants with the intent of inciting another war and taking control.
During a fierce battle with the Hellfire Club, Charles and Erik managed to contain the situation but not without heavy cost.
They had initially come to Logan for assistance, hoping he would lend his considerable strength and abilities to their cause. However, Logan, wary of the chaos that always seemed to follow the X-Men in every version, opted not to join them directly. Instead, he sent a select few of his pack members to aid in the battle.
Logan sent his team of betas with a calculated strategy. He knew of a mutant named Darwin, who possessed the incredible ability to adapt to any threat or environment. Logan believed that if he could acquire Darwin's DNA and combine it with his own, he would become virtually unstoppable.
He remembered Darwin's tragic end at the hands of Sebastian Shaw in the movie "X-Men: First Class," but with Shaw long dead and his body disposed of, Logan was convinced Darwin's death was not as straightforward as it seemed.
Logan was skeptical about Darwin's supposed death in the current timeline as well. In his mind, someone with Darwin's abilities shouldn't be able to die so easily.
With this in mind, he dispatched Emily, a Zeta werewolf and the assistant of Laura, and a few other trusted pack members to join Charles.
The battle unfolded much as Logan had anticipated, it followed the timeline of first class movie, with Erik ultimately killing Donald Pierce and forming his own faction, the Brotherhood. Charles also lost the ability to walk in the battle.
Reports from Emily, however, confirmed that Darwin had been killed, some mutant placed bomb inside his body making his explode from within—a ridiculous and most stupid way to die and seemingly avoidable fate, according to Logan.
But there was a silver lining. Emily, always resourceful, had managed to secure a sample of Darwin's DNA—some hair and blood collected during a medical test.
Logan, now holding what could potentially be the key to his ultimate evolution, wasted no time in heading to Hank and Selene for their expertise.

**Location: Hank McCoy's House**
Hank McCoy was enjoying a rare moment of tranquility in his home, flipping through a book on advanced genetics.
Hank McCoy was enjoying the rare peace, relishing a few months without having to work on some new serum or genetic experiment.
That tranquility was shattered when Logan arrived at his doorstep along with selene with a grin that Hank had come to recognize all too well.
"Damn it, Logan," Hank groaned, already sensing that his peaceful days were numbered. "Can't you just give me a few years of peace?"
Logan chuckled, his smile growing wider. "If you knew what I had here, you might react differently."
As Logan settled into a chair, Selene moved to stand beside him, her eyes twinkling with curiosity. Hank sensed that whatever they were about to discuss was significant.
"Alright, let's hear it," Hank said, leaning forward.
He then proceeded to explain the situation, revealing the DNA sample of Darwin and explaining his adaptive powers.
The reaction from Hank and Selene was immediate and electric. The possibility of harnessing Darwin's unique ability was too tantalizing to resist.
If used correctly, this could signify a new leap in their evolution. With newfound enthusiasm, Hank and Selene dove into their research, eager to unlock the secrets of Darwin's DNA.

**Elsewhere in the World:**
Hank Pym and his wife, Janet. They've joined S.H.I.E.L.D. officially as scientists and. They built their Ant-Man and Wasp technology makes another superheros of this time.
Pym's tech become a game-changer for S.H.I.E.L.D., especially with the abilities those suits provide. But he didn't give it to them and worked on his own, he also lost his wife after an accident.
Later, Time started to move swiftly. Years passed, and Peggy Carter had officially retired from S.H.I.E.L.D.
Driven by a determination that Logan admired but also found slightly reckless, she had embarked on a mission to find Steve Rogers, the legendary Captain America, who was still lost in the ice.
Logan had offered to accompany her, but Peggy had insisted on going alone. She was resolute in her decision to bring Steve back herself, a testament to her loyalty and love.
Few months passed, Logan heard surprising news from his friend—Howard Stark was going to be a father. Logan couldn't help but marvel at how quickly things were changing.
As he stood outside his house, looking up at the sky, Logan couldn't help but think about his journey in this world.
He knows it's only the beginning, the era of great fights is about to come.

Peggy returned years later as she couldn't find Steve.
Logan and others tried to cheer her up but she is still disappointed.
Later Tony stark was born which changed Peggy and Howard.
Peggy became attached to him as Howard grow distinct to him. But everyone knows Howard loves Tony more than anything.
On one evening inside the house of Howard, Logan and Laura came to meet him.
Peggy was already there as she is playing with Little Tony who is about 5 years old.
Maria and Howard are having a conversation with Logan and Laura.
They were talking, laughing even, and then Logan turned to Howard with a grin. "Do you have a message for your son? We can save this for when he's all grown up."
Peggy who put little tony to sleep then took the camera as she began to start.
Soon, Howard and Maria finished their recording.
Logan again tried to convince Howard to become werewolf but he and Maria refused politely.

**Location: Earth, unknown - 1989**
An aircraft is now lay destroyed as an young women now pointed her gun at the other man.
Her name is Carol Danvers and she is a test pilot for Project PEGASYS.
She was ambushed as she was testing the new aircraft.
The experimental aircraft wasn't equipped for combat, and it shuddered under the assault. As her jet was hit, Carol desperately radioed Dr. Wendy Lawson, a brilliant but mysterious scientist, for instructions, but the scientist's voice was filled with urgency and fear.
"Carol, you have to destroy the engine! Don't let them take it!" Lawson's voice crackled over the radio.
Carol's mind raced as she weighed her options. Destroying the engine could mean the end of years of research and the mission itself. But she trusted Lawson and knew that letting the engine fall into enemy hands was not an option.
As the Kree closed in, Carol made her decision. With a deep breath, she aimed her pistol at the core of the engine, her hands steady despite the chaos around her.
"This is for you, Lawson," Carol muttered to herself as she fired.
The bullet struck the core of the light-speed engine, and a brilliant explosion erupted from within the aircraft.
The Tesseract's energy was released in a cataclysmic burst, engulfing the cockpit in a blinding blue light.
Carol was thrown back, her body slamming against the seat as the aircraft was torn apart around her.The energy from the Tesseract flooded her senses, a searing pain coursing through her veins as if every cell in her body was being torn apart and rebuilt simultaneously. The blue light was overwhelming, blinding her to everything else.
Soon, the Kree soilders came sensing she had the energy of the tesseract they had decided she will be useful for them and took her away.

**Inside Whitehaven, Logan's training room**
Logan is now floating in the air with his eyes closed and his whole body is glowing with blue energy.
During the course of years because of his ability to grow stronger with time, he discovered that he can also absorb various types of energies heat, kinetic energy, and other types of energy directed at him.
Later he practiced everyday to cultivate the energy in him, making him the strongest man on the earth.
He slowly opened his eyes as they glow red.
"It's time to get the Tesseract back."

(A/N: Guys, should I add some powers for Laura, as she can also take the serum from the DNA of other mutants to obtain their powers, or should I focus on magic route.
Suggest your thoughts.)
